Get off the beaten track in the mountains of the Cévennes, following Robert Louis Stevenson's trail through an area of the Massif Central that rarely appears on cycle tour itineraries. Climb 8,000 metres in 6 days of riding as you scale Tour de France cols and retrace rides depicted in Tim Krabbé's The Rider, widely viewed as the best work of fiction ever written about cycling. Gerry and John from 44|5 Cycling Tours call the roads around here home, so you'll go a long way before you find riding partners with better knowledge of this part of France. Price includes all accommodation, main meals, maps, support van and baggage transfers, and it's fully guided by Gerry and John.

All accommodation has been checked to ensure it meets our cycle-friendly criteria. We also deal with tour operators personally before adding them to the site. To recommend a great French cycling holiday or a nice bike-friendly place to stay, please email lyn@freewheelingfrance.com
